Story:Initially released in Japan in 1993, Secret of Mana took the world by storm with its innovative real-time battle system and gorgeously rendered world. It continues to stand out among other action RPGs for its seamless gameplay that anyone from beginner to veteran can enjoy.
One of the most memorable elements of the Mana series is the Ring Command menu system. With the single press of a button, a ring-shaped menu appears on the screen, where players can use items, change weapons, and do a variety of other actions without needing to switch screens. This Ring Command menu system for which the Mana series is so well known was first introduced in Secret of Mana and has since appeared in most games in the series.
Play as Randi and his two companions, Primm and Popoi, as they adventure all around the world. At the center of our epic story is the mystical power of Mana. Battle the empire in its quest for control of Mana. Befriend the eight elementals who wield the forces of nature itself. Numerous encounters await at every turn.Show more

I remember staying up late at night playing this game with my friend at a sleepover, me controlling the sprite and my friend controlling Randi with the other controller. That soundtrack is still amazing and one whose files I still listen to. A very good game, albeit too easy once you start getting magic.
The soundtrack remains a staple on my playlist when creating cover art for books when I'm needing that playful, whimsical feel of yesteryear. High energy with a touch of nostalgia even when I first heard it in 93, it matches the bright colors and silly expressions of characters who are out to save the world from a civilization that went too far in its search for power at all costs... The gameplay is basic, with a limited number of elements on the screen to keep everything manageable for the processer and the player alike, but with a couple sneaky gimmicks you could pull out by having magic overlap and stunlock bosses if you've got the resources and timing to pull it off.
Tellement de souvenirs avec ce jeu! Les graphismes, la rapidité et la fluidité du jeu, l'upgrade des armes, etc... et surtout la possibilité de jouer à plusieurs en même temps. Un été à jouer avec mes 2 meilleurs amis en coop!
Tout n'est pas parfait dans ce jeu, mais à l'époque c'était vraiment du bonheur.

King's Field: Pilot StyleThe three King's Field PS1 games form a trilogy relating the saga of a mythical country named Verdite. King's Field 1 (released only in Japan) was the first RPG for the Playstation console and King's Field 2 (released as "King's Field" in the US and EU) was the first ever Playstation RPG in the US and Europe.
King's Field: Pilot Style is a mini game whose story takes place in the period between King's Field 2 and King's Field 3. Pilot Style was given away as a promotional item at a game show in Japan and went relatively unnoticed. It only takes about an hour to complete, but it is an interesting tidbit in the King's Field world.Action Fantasy
Shin Megami TenseiThe story follows a nameless protagonist who lives in near-future Tokyo. When a portal to the realm of demons is opened, United States officials order a nuclear attack on Tokyo. Transported with two other supporting characters thirty years into the future, the protagonist finds the Earth ruined by a demon invasion, which is now the stage for an escalating conflict between the Order of Messiah and the Ring of Gaea, conflicting cults who wish to bring about kingdoms for their respective patron deities (YHVH and Lucifer). The story is influenced by moral decisions the protagonist makes, aligning him either with the Order, the Ring of Gaea, or setting him up as an independent agent.
The gameplay uses first-person navigation of dungeons and turn-based battles against demons. The player can recruit demons as allies by talking to them rather than fighting them, and two to three demons can be fused to create new demons.Trending Fantasy Warfare Science fiction
